Variables are expressed as a percentage (number of cases) or median (IQR). OCSP, Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project; TACI, total anterior cerebral infarct; LACI, lacunar cerebral infarct; PACI, partial anterior cerebral infarct; POCI, posterior cerebral infarct. Differences were assessed with a t-test, Mann-Whitney-U, chi-square test, or Fisher exact test.
